The AFS Cinema is Austin's only nonprofit art house theater, with a mission to bring the community together around great film. On one screen, we present new releases from international narratives to documentaries and independent films. The other screen is repertory, programmed with special series covering the gamut of film culture and history, from movements in international cinema to director retrospectives, restorations, classics and more. At our core, we seek to offer alternate perspectives from corporate and mainstream media, and support a culture that values art, artists and personal expression. Films from Texas filmmakers are frequently on our screens. We seek to be a beacon for all who value great cinema and global perspectives, and a hub for our creative community.

Established in 1915, the Paramount Theatre has been home to iconic films and performances, including the likes of Harry Houdini, Katharine Hepburn and Miles Davis. Imagine downtown Austin in the early 1900s when Congress Avenue was a wide dirt road stirred up by horse-drawn carriages. The flood of 1900, which washed away the power plant that generated the electricity for the streetcars delivering passengers to their downtown destinations, temporarily forced the cars to be pulled by mules. The main street in the capital city was one of the first to be paved in 1905 to accommodate the growing number of automobiles, the primary mode of transportation by the end of the 1920s.
